The proposed technology relates to a method for conveying information from a node to user equipment UE, in a HSPA , system. The method comprises the step of obtaining (S1) rank information and modulation information related to a four- branch Multiple Input Multiple Output, MIMO , system. The method also comprises the step of combining (S2) the rank information and the modulation information related to the four- branch MIMO system into a bit pattern, and the step of transmitting (S3) the combined rank information and modulation information related to the four branch MIMO system as said bit pattern in a control channel to the UE. In this way , a power- efficient solution for conveying information related to a four- branch MIMO system in a control channel from a node to a UE in a HSPA system is provided. |
